A priori acceptability of a multimodal system for the early detection of frailty in older adults
Résumé
Frailty would affect 4 out of 5 people aged of 85 and
over in France. As part of a global project aimed to develop
a multimodal system for the early detection of frailty among older
adults living at home or in a senior residence, we reported prospective
quantitative study assessing a priori acceptability of this system. This
platform is composed of 5 devices: a weight scale, a tensiometer, a
wrist-worn step counter, an activity tracker and a tablet to exchange
data with the aforementioned sensors over internet. The inclusion
criteria are: age ≥ 80 years old, living at home or in senior residence,
assessed as 'robust' or 'pre-frail'. The a priori acceptability is assessed
through self-evaluation questionnaires. The results of the first
22 volunteers included in this study would be in favor of an a priori
intention to use rather favorable to the use of the system, despite an a
priori acceptability judged rather moderate.
